The collective communities of microorganisms within each of us alter the way drugs work, for good and ill, and may be a source of new medicines themselves if we can
Professor Knight’s Microbiome Research with Big Data Professor Rob Knight from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) gave the Keynote speech, “Scaling microbiome studies to address global problems.”
Two separately published studies have found fungal DNA in various cancers in the human body. However, the researchers are unclear on how the fungi got into the cancer cells and
University researchers top international list of the most Highly Cited Researchers. Rob Knight, PhD, is a professor in the departments of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Bioengineering
Scientists have uncovered an association between tumours and fungi, which may lead to a deeper understanding towards the biology of certain cancers. An international research initiative identified 35 types of cancer
Poorly understood compared to bacteria and viruses, the new work opens the door to using tell-tale fungi as a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tool. An international team of scientists, co-led
I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Wolfe Family Endowed Chair in Microbiome Research at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego! This is administered via the Department of Pediatrics
An ongoing program that monitors wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and which has effectively predicted subsequent surges in COVID-19 cases in San Diego has been expanded to detect the
In a recent research report from the United States, currently available on bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists have shown that bacterial taxonomic and functional profiles can discriminate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
Without more samples from people in diverse locales, the full picture of microbes on and in our bodies will remain incomplete, scientists warn. Thousands of studies have linked the trillions of
